lIM/ © New York Post.—WXU Service. Walker an* Bartell Have Own Opinions of Squawks, Hexes IT IS long past midnight at the sign of the Toy Bulldog. The boys who have been cutting up old touches get around to the twin subjects of squawks and alibis. Since this is a prize fight crowd the debate is loud and long. Mickey Walker, who has been listening quietly, now grins and saunters over to the table. “Maybe there’s a time and place for everything,’’ suggests the squat little man who used to ask nothing of giants save that they keep on swinging. “For instance, did I ever tell you about the time I fought Dundee?” He grins again at the memory of the night. “Well, anyhow, Joe smacks me so hard over one eye that I lose the duke and have to go to the hospital. Then they tell me the doctor has got to take 12 stitches in the peeper. So I lay there and they work on me with their needles - as if-I was a pillow slip. “Naturally I’m weighing in with some man-sized beefing because it

hurts plenty. All the while, too, I hear a guy on the next table sort of growling, but I don’t figure he’s got any cause to be sore at me and so I don’t pay much attention to him. Instead I just lay there and every time the Doc purls one on the next row

j. Mickey Walker

I let out another yelp. “All of a sudden the guy on the next table bounces up so’s they’ve

got to stop operations on him. Then he starts shaking his fist in my face. “ Say you,’ he says to me. ‘You know what I’m in here for. Well somebody bounced a bottle off my conk and I’ve been stretched out here for almost an hour while they’ve been digging glassware outta my dandruff. That’s what they’ve been doing. Here I was out for a bit of fun and wasn’t harming nobody an .’ The guy leans over as if he’s gonna take a belt outta me. “ ‘ an’ you,’ he says. ‘Getting hit is your racket, ain't it. An’ you got paid 10 G’s for tonight, didn’t you? Well, then, what right’ve you got to squawk?’ ” • • • It is almost time for a doubleheader to start. Adolfo Luque stands in front of the Giants’ dugout shaking an excited finger at Dick Bartell. “You oughta done it,” he says. “You—.” “Yeah.” says the shortstop. “But I didn’t have trr* I was .” “It makes no difference.” the veteran coach abandons such feeble medium as a long finger and spreads both arms in eloquent gesture. "How we gonna win. How we .” “Well, I got warmed up anyhow, didn t I?” Bartell’s life is built on the theory that a good attack is the best defense. So he plainly is out of his element now. Nevertheless he tries gamely to cover up. “You warm up! Huh!” Luque sputters feebly with the English idiom for a mo-

ment, relieves himself with rippling Spanish phrases and then returns to the language by which he may be understood. “Three weeks you warm up with me, hey? Three weeks you get hits. You warm up with me today. No. Well, then how you expect to

He shrugs his shoulders that speak volumes. Then sinks down on the bench overcome by the futility of It all. He becomes as silent as he had been loquacious. Bartell is not a superstitious lad. He knows that a bat is of considerable more assistance than a rabbit’s foot when you are up there cutting for base hits. So he grins at this notion that—merely because he tossed practice balls to a teammate on the afternoon when he emerged from a woeful slump he must continue tossing practice balls to that teammate every afternoon. Being moderns the other Giants also grin. The first game starts. Magicians pop up from nowhere to snare hardhit line drives. The Giants lose that one. The second game starts. A sturdy little fellow continues to slap line drives that should be good for extra bases. They continue to be caught. The Giants lose that one. When old man Luque comes down the clubhouse steps the next afternoon a blond little fellow is waiting there, ball and glove in hand. “Hey, Adolf, catch,” he calls “I’ve been waiting here 10 minutes How do you expect me to get warmed —.” That afternoon Dick Bartell gek his base hit and the Giants win.

IWO} SPECIAL FEED AID TO LATE CHICKENS Good Ration Urged to Push i Fall Production. By Br. N. F Walters. Poultry Husbandry i Staff. lowa State College.—WNU Service. , A good ration for obtaining fast growth and development of late hatched chicks is recommended. The following ration, one that has been successfully used at the college poultry farm, may be mixed at home in small quantities or i can be supplied by local elevators in larger amounts than would be I convenient to mix on the farm: Ground yellow' corn, 39 parts; ground oats, 20 parts; wheat bran, 10 parts; w’heat middlings, 10 parts; meat and bone meal, 10 parts; dried milk, 5 parts; alfalfa meal, 5 parts, and salt, 1 part. Liquid skim milk may be substituted for dried milk, and 1 per cent of cod liver oil should be provided । until the chicks go out on range. This all-mash ration may be fed I until the chicks are eight weeks old. After this period, the ration should be supplemented with a grain mixture of equal parts of cracked yellow corn, whole wheat , and hulled oats. | The mash should be kept before ' the chicks at all times throughout the growing period. The grain , i may also be fed in hoppers. When I the chicks are 12 weeks of age, ' they should be allow'ed equal parts I of mash and grain fed separately. Nutrients essential for most eco- , nomical gains in w'eight (protein, j carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and ‘ minerals) are supplied in the proper amounts in the above feeding , recommendations for chicks. In ' addition, plenty of clean water w’ill ■ i aid digestion and circulation. p x • f' a Profit for Novice round in the Broiler Business The rearing of broilers is a very I practical and profitable way of j starting into the poultry business, states a writer in the Philadelphia Record. The broiler plant can be j conducted by itself or in connec- j tion with an egg farm. Broilers are young, plump chickens, usually killed when from 6 to 12 w’eeks of age. The main point in raising them profitably is to keep them growing as fast as possible. The first rule for deriving a good profit from poultry is to get only A-No. 1 chicks, from blood-tested stock. The next step is to keep these chicks growing so that they will reach laying maturity before cold weather. There are two systems in vogue for feeding poultry—dry and wet. The former is simpler and easier. The beginner is advised to adopt either one and follow it until he has a good reason for modifying or changing it. More care should be exercised in feeding chicks than fowls, be- . cause they are hungry little things and do not know so well what is j good for them. They eat anything, i and the digestive organs are not able to handle the objectionable , matter. Roosts and Dropping Boards Dropping boards usually placed ! about 20 inches from the floor for a > low’ ceiling and from 30 to 36 inches where the ceiling is 6 1-2 feet or ; more above the floor, should be about 10 inches wider than the I roosts and be made of matched flooring running from front to back I and with nails well clinched so they । can easily be cleaned. Roosts should be put from 6 to 8 inches ' above the dropping boards and all on the same level to prevent the j fow’ls from fighting to get on the i highest one. Roosts should be spaced about two inches apart for ' small breeds and 13 inches for large ones, while the space allowance on roosts should vary from 1 7 to 10 inches for different breeds. Scantlings 2 by 2 or 2 by 4, and ’ with the upper sides planed smooth and rounded, are satisfactory for perches. Developing Pullets i A pullet that is being raised for a layer should have a gradual, uninterrupted growth. A pause in growth due to frequently empty hopper or dry fountain may mean a runt, and a runt means a pullet j that was potentially a good layer i but whose digestive capacity, lay- ■ ing capacity, was not developed to ! its highest degree, consequently she can never be an efficient as- • similator of expensive feed and i would better be sold. Turkeys Need New Range Unless utmost precaution is used, turkeys cannot be raised success-1 fully on ground where turkeys or I { chickens have ranged the year be- ; fore. Even then, after disinfecting ! such ground, trouble often arises, I says the Wisconsin Agriculturist j ‘ and Farmer. The only safe plan' is to provide new clean range and runs for the birds each season. Then, given healthy stock and good , care, the flock has the best chance ) to grow and thrive. Com Field an Ideal Range If a corn field is reasonably close by the range where chicks are 10-j i cated, it will provide shade—if it j was planted at the normal time. It I I is an ideal place to dust and scratch j I and a place where hawks and i crows will not bother the chicks, i In addition, they will gather considi erable green feed if other feed is not available in abundance. During the summer a corn field is an ideal range for half-grown chickens.

Contour Furrows Control Erosion Level Base Does Not Allow Water to Wash Down the Hillside. By W. G. KINCANNON. Soil Conservationist, North Carolina State College. WNU Service. Contour furrowing to control erosion is highly recommended by specialists of the soil conservation service and the North Carolina State college agricultural extension service. When the plow is run along the contours of the land, the furrows are level and will aid greatly in checking the run-off of rain water. A furrow with a level base does not allow the water to wash down the hillside, but holds and distributes it regularly over the field. The water is given a chance to soak into the ground. Contour furrowing is especially recommended for pastures or fields where erosion has reached serious proportions. If the land is badly cut up with gullies, the furrows should be closed at the edges of the gullies. But if the field has only shallow depressions, the furrows may extend across them, provided the furrows are curved so as to keep their bases on a level. By taking the water out of gullies, farmers can give grass and other erosion-resisting crops a chance to grow. As time goes on, the land will again become tillable. It will also produce valuable pasturage. In erosion-control demonstration areas, contour furrowing has proved to be an effective method of stopping soil-washing and conserving moisture. Profit in Woodland if Only Big Trees Are Cut There is a great deal more profit in lumber from farm woodlands I when only the large, mature trees I are cut and the small trees left to ' grow into another crop. The United 1 States Forest Service has found that I maple trees less than 12 to 14 inches ’in diameter actually do not pay । their w’ay through a band sawmill. There is about 19 times as much lumber in a tree 26 inches in diameter as in a 9-inch tree. But since j the lumber in the larger tree is ! worth about twice as much per foot, i the total value is 36 times as great. Selective cutting removes the i greatest value with the least vol--1 ume. It leaves small trees as a windbreak and allows them to grow faster because they no longer need to compete with big trees for moisture, sunlight, and space to spread their crowns. A farmer in doubt as to how to cut his woodland for lumber is advised to get in touch with a state forester, his state college of agriculture, or his county agricultural agent.

Feeding Grain Mixture The amount of grain mixture fed j i to cow’s when on pasture depends, i to a great extent, upon the individual production, but where a cow is producing more than 17 pounds of ' milk a day, one pound of grain for ' each five to seven pounds of milk i produced will be sufficient, according to an authority at the North Carolina State college. This amount, in addition to the pasturage will I usually maintain the animal in good ; flesh and permit maximum milk production. An average cow eats | enough grass in a day to maintain her body and produce about two gallons of milk. If she is capable of producing more milk, the grass , must be supplemented with the j grain mixture in such quantity as ; to secure the maximum production. Feed for Idle Mares Mares not required to work should stay in good condition if plenty of good roughage and occasionally a little grain are given them, says an authority. Wheat bran is one of the best additions to any kind of a ration for a heavy mare in foal because it is laxative, not too heavy, and yet nutritious. For mares at w’ork, a ration of two parts good oats, two parts corn, and one part wheat bran, fed with timothy hay or a mixture of timothy and a little clover or alfalfa, is satisfactory. For mares doing ordinary work, one to one and a quarter pounds grain, and one to one and one-half pounds of hay should keep them in good ; condition. Along the Furrows Ohio buys half of the potatoes eaten in the state. • * • A good granary or corn crib usually pays for itself many times over । on the average farm. • * • A teaspoon of soil, according to estimates, contains more bacteria than there are persons in the city of New York. • • • The per capita beef consumption j of beef in urban Georgia is 55 pounds a person, 28 pounds for members j of farm families. * * * Deductions made by livestock i buyers for bruises on lambs cost the growers two cents per lamb for ev- , ery animal sent to market. Drouth drove farmers in many sections of Argentina to abandon wheat and linseed crops and plant I corn, the result being a record corn : crop in 1935 of over 15,000,000 tons. * • « Four thousand sheep of a flock of 8,000 died while being driven to good grazing country near Colarenebri, Australia. * * • Pruning mature apple trees does i not significantly improve the fruit, is the verdict from experiments at Cornell university. ♦ • • Grapes are easily grown, do not require much room, are ornamental both as vines and fruit, and are delicious and wholesome to eat.

Tall Tales As Told to: FRANK E. HAGAN and ELMO SCOTT WATSON ESCAPE IN SIBERIA CIR HORACE PLUNKETT of England, or “Hod” Plunkett as the cowboys in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming in the early days knew him, had some thrilling adventures on the American frontier, but his narrowest escape from death W’as in Siberia. One day his horse went lame near a Russian village. Being in a hurry to reach St. Petersburg, he left his horse there and hired another one, hitched to a sleigh. In the midst of a dark, dismal forest, he heard a howl and saw a huge timber wolf pursuing him. Sir Horace lashed his horse into a mad gallop, but the wolf gained on him at every jump. Just as the fierce beast sprang at him, Sir Horace dropped down into the bottom of the sleigh. The wolf shot clear over him and lighted on the horse’s hindquarters. The terrified horse kept on running even after it was half eaten up. Then Sir Horace sprang up. His whip gave the wolf a terrific cut. With a howl the beast sprang forw’ard just as the horse died and fell out of the harness which dropped on the wolf. Sir Horace then grabbed up the reins. By lashing at the wolf constantly w’ith his w’hip he kept it going forw’ard at a terrific pace. A few moments later it raced into a town and came to a plunging halt in front of an inn. Out dashed a group of Russians who killed the wolf and, as Sir Horace stepped out of the sleigh, pressed forward to congratulate him upon his escape THE HUMILIATED TEETH TN SALT LAKE CITY, baseball * bugs still refer to Joe Jenkins, their old catcher, as the man who always w’ore a mask, not because Joe used a mask when catching, but the contraption he wore other times was a little net slung under his chin. It acted as catcher, too —whenever Joe's lower plate of 16 shiny, false teeth, w’orked loose. Without dreaming of being insulting, Joe laid the plate aside in a restaurant one night and w’ent right on eating. It happened the teeth w’ere on edge; they were so humiliated by his act they rolled to the floor and hid there. Next day, filled with remorse, the teeth began to hunt Joe. It was a ! long search, filled with heart breaks. Once the teeth almost caught up with Joe while he was gulping milk toast, missing by snapping distance only.

One afternoon. Salt Lake opposed the Portland Beavers. The Utah । ■ team was three runs behind, ninth ; I inning, two out and the bases filled I \ Joe'd been in an awful slump and was benched. At this moment, fortunately for ‘ j Salt Lake, something resembling a ! ! wide smile crawled up the players’ I i bench and bit Jenkins where he | carried his eating tobacco. Whoop I ing wildly, Joe leaped seven feet in | | the air. With his right hand he | snapped the prodigal lower plate I into his mouth; with the left he i reached down for his bat. Joe slammed a home run over the left field fence, winning the game for , Salt Lake by a score of 6 to 5. A RESOURCEFUL TOCK “qrHE picture in my living room,” said Humming Bird Stevenson of Columbia, Tenn., “is not a reproduction of a freak of nature but a lifelike portrait of Blinky, my one-eyed rooster. “That smear on the right side of his head is a glass eye. I know it's bloodshot. I painted it that way to make the other cocks overconfident. } His neck is a trifle corkscrewish—- , that’s because Blinky, in feinting to i overcome the handicap of a single । eye, almost wrung his own neck. “The greatest pitting he won was when a couple of city fellows came to Columbia with their fighting I birds and cleaned up. “In the grand finale, Blinky was i matched against the city champion, an Allen round-head, and I bet all I could beg, borrow or steal at odds of 5 to 1. The odds were easy to j get, for word was passed to the city j slickers that poor Blinky was a ; one-eyed cock. “Blinky never showed better pitmanship. Wherever the round-head i struck my pride sideslipped and put ’ his glass eye in front of the gaffs. After that the round-head’s needles ■ were too dull to mend a pair of ■ open-work stockings and the match w T as in the bag.” (£) Western Newspaper Union. Home of Seabirds Venice has been called the “Queen of the Adriatic” and the “Serene ! Seaport,” but its oldest name was the “Sea-Birds’ Home.” Long before the Huns swept dow’n on Italy there was a small population, the aborigi- ! nal Venetians, occupying the estu--1 ary, of whom Cassiodorus, secre- ■ I tary of Theodoric the Great, has left us a picture. The Huns drove refu- . gees from Padua, Aquileia and i other mainland cities to the lagoons to found a republic among the sea birds. Birds’s Feathers Counted The Smithsonian institution actually counted the feathers of a woodpecker, and found the foliage of hairy and downy varieties is the same. They have also found that the birds wear less feathers in summer than in winter. Don’t Believe in Ghosts ■ “I don’t believe in ghos’es,” said !

WORLD’S OLYMPICS CHAMPIONSHIP IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY No matter how’ successfully America’s 400 muscled athletes compete in the 19 events against 50 nations at the Olympic games to be held in Berlin this summer, they cannot possibly hope to bring back the w’orld s championship to this country. If this sounds like the gloomy ’orecast of some modern Schopenhauer of sport, just bear in mind one fact: there is no such thing as an official Olympic games team championship. The first six winners in each event receive medals and diplomas. Their names are inscribed on the Roll of Honor. But, according to strict Olympic rules, “there is no classification according to points.” In short, no nation has ever won the Olympic Sarnes. True, there is a scoring system, nvented years ago by the press ?or the benefit of reporters and jports fans who like their championships nicely defined. Under the system, ten points are awarded for first place, five for second, four for third, three for fourth, two for fifth, and one 1 for sixth. 1 On that basis, the United States is defending champion, having won the 1932 Olympiad by a handsome majority. And Norway leads the 1936 parade by reason of its victory in the winter games at GarmischPartenkirchen in the Bavarian 1 : Alps.
